The actual serious answer is that they intend to rule, not serve in office. If you intend to rule, the people who you insist follow your rules must never hand physical power that exceeds yours. And for all the BS, American gun gun owners exceed the power of the military by a wide margin.

They hate guns, because they prefer to be enslaved, and a freedom loving society means they HAVE to deal in personal responsibility- and not being owned. We have to accept that they want to be owned, and enslaved. They hate freedom and guns are a representation of freedom.

Every communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party. Yet, having guns, we can create Party organizations, as witness the powerful Party organizations which the Eighth Route Army has created in northern China. We can also create cadres, create schools, create culture, create mass movements. Everything in Yenan has been created by having guns. All things grow out of the barrel of a gun.

o Mao Zedong, "Problems of War and Strategy", 1938.

If the Liberals are to control every thing they must control all of the guns.

(The welfare state must fail because it is contrary to human nature and diminishes the human spirit.)

I'm sure the loudly self-proclaimed "liberals" don't hate guns 2% so much as they hate us "Neanderthals," "knuckle draggers," "bitter clingers," "dupes of the gun lobby," et cetera who dare assert we have a right to keep and bear arms.

Why do they hate us so passionately?

 Because they're deathly afraid and bitterly resentful of moral, independent, normal people. They seek to avenge themselves against us for being everything they know they're not.

 Because they demand we stand in awe of their superior intelligence and wisdom, and are horrified that we not only don't look up to them, but laugh at them or worse yet, ignore them. They know as well as we their superior airs are an unconvincing attempt to mask their own inferiority.

 Because we accept reality as it is rather than as they believe it ought to be.

 Because they'd rather tear us down than build themselves up.

 Because down deep where they nevereverwant anyone to see, they know there's something grossly wrong with them for being unable to mix and mingle with ordinary people as equals.

 Because they're dependent rather than independent. They're cowering followers, not leaders. They're guided by fear rather than courage, fear rather than reason, prejudice rather than knowledge, terror of themselves rather than trust in their fellow man.

 Because however frantically they they try to deny it, they know they're looters, arsonists, armed robbers, rapists, and totalitarians at heart, not creators or inventors or builders or managers or people who can be counted on to keep their word and tell the truth and treat others fairly and squarely. They treat us as they secretely fear they deserve to be treated.

 Because, above and beyond all else, they're saturated with blind hatred for America and Americans.

I'm not so sure. The low-end liberal makes a choice to become one of the collective, the high end liberal merely ignores the rules they make for everyone else. It is the rest of us who don't want/need their rules and oppression, who view the former as stifling, and the latter as slavery who make them uncomfortable because we remind them we are all they are not.

It cheapens their delusions of manhood. For the same reason, they hate the military, they hate anyone who is self sufficient, they hate and resent anyone who would defend themselves and their own.

No, you’ve got it wrong, because they prefer YOU AND I to be enslaved. Somehow liberals rationalize that “they” will be amoung the smarter ones in control, the elite that deserve freedom and they are wrong.

That may be the case for libtard politicians, but the average street liberal hates guns from projection, they project their insecurity as to how they would react to situations while in the possession of a firearm onto other rational, functional people.

The liberals want the monopoly on guns in the hands of their gangland friends. For them, the only ones who should own the guns are their friends in the illegal drug industry. These do guns to insure the illegal drug industry has sufficient clout to win the drug war.

You only have to ask why has Chicago seen a record of over 500 homicides this year? Ask, what is the number one activity in Chicago? Hint: The Mexican drug cartels are heavily embedded in Chicago. In fact, Chicago is one of the main drug hubs in the United States. The drug-homicide connection is unmistakable. And, the media will not talk about this. The media are true to their 1st Amendment irresponsibility: keep quiet on the truth. They want to keep the focus on the guns so that guns get taken away from the honest citizens and kept in the hands of their drug scum gangster friends. How else do these fat-assed news jockeys stay loaded while they spout their crap they call the news?
